My husband and I have always loved The Grand Hotel so was no contest when choosing our wedding venue. Lyndsay was our wedding coordinator at The Grand Hotel and we couldn't have asked for anyone better. On the week leading up to our wedding she was amazing, she made it so easy to decorate the venue before our actual wedding day and then on our wedding day Lyndsay and the employees there did all the table decorations for us meaning I didn't have to stress on the day. Lyndsay also made it so easy for knowing where we all needed to be and when the speeches started. All in all our wedding day went so smoothly and we were blessed with wonderful weather. I would highly recommend the Grand Hotel for your wedding venue, wonderful view and wonderful people!!!

My husband and I knew we wanted to get married in Swanage but it was a question of where. As soon as we walked into The Grand Hotel we instantly fell in love with its character and the stunning views it has to offer over Swanage Bay. When we met Lindsay, the General Manager, we knew we were in good hands to help us plan our dream wedding. She introduced us to all the staff and we kept in regular contact over the planning period. We were always made to feel so welcome and each time we visited, it felt like we were coming home. Lindsay and her team are clearly very experienced in wedding organisation and have a keen eye for detail. So, as the bride and groom we felt reassured and in safe hands throughout the build-up to our wedding. We were encouraged to use the hotel as a blank canvas to create the wedding that represented us. The hotel not only organised the room bookings for our guests, but they also booked the garden marquee and the dancefloor which meant we had less to worry about overall. The night before the wedding we had an informal rehearsal where we were greeted with champagne and Lindsay introduced herself to all the key members of the wedding party. It really helped to clarify the pace of the day and understand where everyone was supposed to be. Lindsay orchestrated the whole thing, and set a fantastic tone for the night before our wedding.On the day itself, everything ran smoothly and the staff were friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and came out quickly and at good intervals. As someone who suffers with food intolerances, the chef was more than accommodating in creating a menu that I could enjoy. The hotel took care of things that went on in the background, that as a bride I knew nothing about but contributed to making such a fantastic day. The team were thoughtful, caring and genuinely wanted us to have the perfect day. The whole experience with the hotel was personalized, professional and welcoming. It really was the best day of our lives.

I can highly recommend the Grand Hotel as a wedding venue. We were lucky with the lovely sunny weather and the setting with the garden overlooking the sea was outstanding – a view hard to beat. Lindsay the general manager at the hotel was exceptional in her planning right from the start of the booking through to the end of the day. Every detail was covered and coordinated leaving very little for us to do – just what we wanted. The food was delicious and her team of staff efficiently served and cleared for 116. I cannot praise the Grand enough. Excellent venue, excellent food, and excellent staff.
